Etymotic Research MicroPro ER 4P

Pros: Sound, Size, Isolation

Cons: Microphonic Cord, High Price

The Bottom Line: These are the best headphones I have ever heard. They provide amazing sound and isolation and are very small. The only drawback is the price.

Review: The Purchase

I had been looking for some new headphones to replace my Sony MDR-D22s. The Sonys sounded fine, but they were too big for me to carry around with my mp3 CD player. The Sonys were also semi-open, meaning that some sound...

Pros: Superb sonics, small package, complete kit, lightweight, better fit among Etymotic products

Cons: Price, getting used to its in ear location, cleaning, learning curve to insert properly

The Bottom Line: The best earphones I've ever used. Sonic heaven.

Review: I recently bought an ER6i as my introduction to the Etymotic's line. I was utterly amazed by the improved listening experience it gave. h ttp://www.epinions.com/content _186266979972 Recently, my travel Diva ...

Pros: Great with binaural recordings

Cons: very limited use, bright with stereo recordings

Review: The Etymotic ER4B is the most specialized of Etymotics 3 ear phones. Designed to work with binaural recordings, their equalization circuit compensates for the rolled off high frequencies lost due to the binaural process. These recordings use a dummy head...

Pros: Extremely accurate and musical Very portable Comfortable Not expensive looking

Cons: Expensive, but a bargain compared to any other headphone of similar sound quality

The Bottom Line: Absolutely buy them if you are obsessed with accurate sound and don't mind the feeling of plugs deep in your ears.

Review: Over the years I've owned around 70 different pairs of headphones, from cheap to rather high-end, and I used to think I just had a compulsion with buying phones that would go on forever. Each set had it's own unique sound and I used different sets ...

Pros: Sound like you oughta hear it

Cons: Pricey, needs more than passive maintenance

The Bottom Line: Because of the quality of the listening experience, I can handle the maintenance requirements; these ER-4Ps are my hands-down choice: worth the money, worth the effort.

Review: Etymotic ER-4P Earphones

I'm writing this review at 24000 feet, plugged into my laptop and listening to B.B. King and Diane Schuur's "Heart to Heart" CD--hearing only the music and, faintly, the white noise of the airplane's flight. I cannot...

Pros: Can be used with portable players

Cons: Not quite as accurate as the ER4S

Review: The Etymotic ER4P is the newest addition to the fine line of earphones from Etymotic. They are designed to be more efficient than the ER4S so that portable players can drive them to decent listening levels. Portable players have notoriously weak outputs...

Pros: Sound quality, portability, isolation

Cons: Price, but you get what you pay for here.

The Bottom Line: The Etymotic ER4P's get 5 stars all the way. Do yourself and your favorite music artists a favor and go pick these up. $269 at Headroom.

Review: I purchased my Etymotic ER4P's a week ago. Since then, I have been going through my CD and MD collection non-stop, rediscovering many new tones and intricacies of the music that I had been missing. The quality of the sound coming from these little...

Pros: The sound... for home, travel and especially airplane use.

Cons: Either you can take having something in your ear or you can't.

The Bottom Line: If you have $300 to spend on headhones, or you kill some pairs a year in travel, this the T-H-E way to go.

Review: First, I would never have found this product if not for Epinions! I was looking to upgrade my early version of the Sony noise-cancelling headphones (model 5)and wanted to get an opinion on the Bose unit. That led me to a review of these.

I...

Pros: great sound in a tiny package perfect for travel

Cons: in canal design is uncomfortable for some

Review: These "in-canal earphones" arrived in a nicely packaged plastic storage box. Anybody who buys these will immediately see that Etymotic intended on delivering a quality product.... and that they did!

The sound is first rate, rivaling...

Pros: Sound quality, comfort, noise cancelling.

Cons: Price...but you soon realise they are worth it! Microphonic cable.

The Bottom Line: Try them...and then buy them

Review: This is a product that you have to try for yourself, rather than listen to other people's opinions. Some people will find them uncomfortable or won't have the courage to insert them deeply enough into the ear to get a really good sound. I tried them and ...
